I'm pricing the d300, and I am trying to find one within my budget. Is a Nikon USA refurbished d300 just as good as a brand new one? I'm a little perplexed. My d70s is QUICKLY on its way out, and I need a new camera SOON.

My Lawyers documents stated that there is no need for it, and now i am too close for travel but am just curious abt how people are following it.....

Hi all, I hope someone can provide me with some advice.
I made an awful mistake today. I am in the middle of an H1-B transfer (company just signed application and sent to lawyer for sending to uscis this week) and moving to a different city for this job. I am moving this week and will commute to my old job until my notice gets accepted. My issue:
I had prepared my AR-11 (change of address form) and had it sitting on my desk ready to be mailed once my application was approved (since my application and all documents had my old address from when they started the process). I took the envelope with other mail by mistake today and put it in the mail.
Will this be an issue with the application? I don't know if they'll deny my transfer because of an address discrepancy or something.
Please advise.

Applied for AP/EAD/485 in July 07.....I know that I can invoke AC21 after 180 days and change jobs.....My question is ,

1. If I travel to India before the 180 days and use the AP when I return, is it like invoking AC21 before 180 days ?

A AC21 has nothing to do with AP

2. what are the consequences of using AP within 180 days after filing for 485 ?

A There is not such a thing as AC21 before 180 days

3. Is AP and AC21 related ? [brother, sister , cousin :) ]

A See answer to Question 1
Thanks.

^^^^^^

Thanks guys.

Given the fact that we have a sum total of all Applications in the system :
We should have a pretty good idea soon how the PD would stand.

We should be able to fill in a quick poll to see how the numbers get split up with our members to get a rough idea of the % age wait. The goal is, most folks now are aware of IV and atleast visit IV frequently. They should be able to add 1 unit to the count, so we have a rough idea of the wait times to calculate to understand realistically How long to wait for the GC Visa # allotment.

We have waited long enough on BEC

I have already sent my 485 application
1-140 cleared

In the field I94# and expiration I entered I 94 number which is on the white card on the passport and it is the same as the number on my renewed h1 papers.However I entered expiry date from the i94 on the passport,which is oct06 instead of the 010 date in the renewal.

will that be a problem..? CAN I CORRECT IT AFTER I get the reciept no or will thay be able to verify with the latest h1 paper that i94 is valid

The I94 number is in the database. When I94 was extended that information is entered in the database as well.

My status on I-140 changed to "Request for Additional Evidence". Notice was sent only on 25th, so I don't have any more details yet.

Just wondering if anybody has any idea what it could be?

google around for RFEs... the three most common ones are:

- ability to pay -> this is for your employer to prove... if you are from a small company, or have been paid less than prevailing wage or LC wage, this might come up.

- education qualifications -> if your LC said the job requires 4 year BE in CS, and you have a 3 year BSc in Mathematics, this might come up

- experience letters -> if your LC said the job requires 5 years of experience, and you have not submitted detailed experience letters for those, you'll get this RFE.

Having said that, dont worry about it until you actually receive the RFE, it could be for a bunch of things, some serious, some completely trivial. If your LC required some minimum experience and you did not submit copies of your experience letter, you may want ot start contacting older employers, otherwise just wait till the RFE actually comes.

Hi,

The following is an article I read and want to share with fellow GC seekers. This clearly indicates that there is a real big need for Tech workers in US and companies are finding difficult to fill the vacancies.

I hope IV may be able to get in touch with researcher and get more detailed information. This may also help them while meeting House Reps and Congressmen.

Hi All,
Currently iam working for a X company and i do have 2 layers(A,B) to my end client Y. My company got agreement with company A and A got agreement with B. Now, my client (Y)wants me on full time.I have signed non-compete with my employer that i will not join his clients.But Y is no way a client to my employer. Will there be any issue if i join with Y?

Any replies is highly appreciated.

I understand there will be stress headache etc... I just wanted to see if the cost of appealing a wrongly rejected 485 was something a H1b employee can afford.
BTW on lighter note:
For headache I use zandu balm
and for stress I do Yoga.
These dont cost as much as docs/lawyers in this country!!
Cheers all

Just read that if you have sent one check for 1-140 & 485 then the whole package will be returned and you would have to refile your I140. If you have sent separate checks then they will just return the I485 part of your package.

Source: Either Fragromen or Murthy. Check their websites.


Sent in two checks.

Hi,

I am really confused about my current status.

I am currently on Opt Extension, which expires on June 1st 2010.
When i filed for H1b visa last year April 2009.

I got my petition approved, but my change of status was denied.
The reason was stated as :
The status previously accorded the worker had expired before this petition was filed. Therefore, the worker si not eligible for change of status.

Now, I am still in US. Is my status illegal?

Gurus,

I am considering switching my employer.

Currently I have I-140 and labor for GC approved in 2006.
Filed I-485 in July 2007.

My current H-1B expires on December 2009. (9 years on H-1B.... ya that long)

Based on my AC-21 portability after 180 days of I-140 approval, if I move to a new employer and file H-1B transfer, will I get default approval of only upto December 2009, or can I get 3-year extension based on my I-140 approval?

Appreciate your answers in advance.

Thanks,
Optimizer

Since Company A has not canceled your H1, you can join them anytime.

No need to re-transfer.

I have done the same.

Hi tissac,

Thanks for the reply.But in my H1-B petition the DOB is correctly enetered.In my H1 stamping(Visa) the DOB is not correctly enetered.When i went to Driving licence office they checked my passport DOB and Stamped VISa DOB.and they asked me to get the DOB corrected in the Visa.one of my friend suggested me to goto INFOPASS and get it corrected.

Do u have any idea?


Thanks

Hi,

Need advice from an attorney:

My I-94 expires in december 2010. I have an approved Advance parole till Dec 2011(I485 is pending). Is it required to travel outside the country and get a new I-94 ?

2. Is there a source on the Net that I can refer to that explains this?

Thanks,
AjaySri

I am in a confused situation, any thoughts / guidelines are greatly appreciated..

The question is : If my h1 is with company A and my GC is applied for future employment by company B, can I use EAD to take up full time employment with company C (or Self) ?

The full story is : The client company, I am working with is processing my GC for future employment. 485 was applied and I received EAD. It has come up that the current employer has an agreement with the client that , the client should not employ any of their employees for 1 yr after the termination. So, I need to quit the current employment, work else where for a year and then join the GC sponsering company.The I140 will not be revoked.

Since I am not currently working for GC sponsring company, does any of the AC21 issues matter ?

Thanks in advance

I filed my EAD online for the first time on May 9th. Yesterday I got an approved card for my wife and I. It is interesting how fast that came and that I did not need to send pictures nor did I go for fingerprinting. My initial finger printing and picture taken for 485 was used to give me the EAD

However, NSC issued the EAD for 1 year only. I called up help desk and asked them why 1 year and not 2 years. They checked their records and saw I was eligible for 2 year, then they transferred me to Level 2 support. The Level 2 support after looking at my case, put me on hold for sometime and then came back and said, the period of EAD was done at the discretion of NSC. So if I do not want it, I should send it back and ask them to reopen my case.

Guys any advise or should I wait for 1 year and hope next year they will issue a 2 year EAD?? I really do not want to send my EAD back...
